I know that most of you drop by to see what I am beading or creating with my beads. But today, I want to share another of my creative pursuits with you. I actually am lucky enough to own two sewing machines with embroidery capabilities. They are older machines, but the both still work very well. My first and oldest is a Viking Designer 1. I use that one primarily for sewing because it just seems to do that best.
My other machines is a Brother Pacesetter ULT2003D. Yes, it is one that came with the built in Disney designs and handles the Disney cards. I have done a lot of Disney stuff for my family on it.
As many of you also know, I adopted a Golden Retriever puppy three months ago. He has been taking a lot of my time to train. But it has been worth it. Now, I want to show him and my love for him to the world. And I also want him to get used to the noises that happen in my work room. I decided it was time to run the embroidery machine.
I got a GREAT buy on some sweatshirts and t-shirts on the clearance rack, and this is what I did with them.

| I found this blue hooded sweatshirt for $3.00. I decided to do the same design on the front and on the back. Luckily, I was able to get it in two sizes. |

| This is the larger design on the back of the sweatshirt. |

| I put this beautiful face on the front of a grey sweatshirt. I wore this one to puppy class already. |
I have several more designs that I am hoping to find the right garments to display them. And I have several more grey sweat shirts waiting to be made into custom garments. So, guaranteed, Tanner will hear the embroidery machine a lot more.
By the way, if you are wondering how he did. I don’t think he even noticed that it was running.
Just wanted to share a photo of Tanner that I had taken yesterday at the local pet shop. They do these to benefit local animal charities. I think he did really well for being only 5 months old. I know it will be a memory that I will treasure forever.
Blessings,
Beth
Those are really cute designs, Beth. And I love the picture of Tanner and the Easter Bunny :)
